Have you ever found yourself wide awake at 2:03am, replaying every email and conversation in your mind? If so, you're not alone. Cheryl explores why our brains tend to engage in these mental marathons when we should be resting, revealing that it’s a natural response of our nervous system under prolonged stress. She emphasises that experiencing this cycle does not indicate weakness or failure; rather, it’s a sign that your nervous system is attempting to regain control. Cheryl discusses the fine line between reflection and rumination, illustrating how the latter can trap us in a loop of anxiety and self-blame. Instead of trying to solve everything in the dead of night, she introduces a practical three-step approach: Name it, Anchor it, Park it. This method allows you to acknowledge your feelings without being overwhelmed by them, fostering a sense of safety and clarity. As she guides listeners through this technique, Cheryl reinforces the importance of establishing boundaries between work and rest, encouraging a mindset shift that prioritises recovery over relentless productivity.
